Testing Testing 1 2 3 again

After a day at the markets on Saturday, I was itching to do some sewing yesterday. So, I got out of bed, made coffee, and started whipping up this extremely cute Specs Case (in my pyjamas).

It's another new pattern from Nikki at Nicole Mallalieu Design which will be available very very soon. I used a vintage floral pillowcase teamed with a spotty print that I picked up from Amitie.

I think the thing that I love the most about this one is that I can use it for my big Blowfly Oroton sunglasses, or alternatively, I can actually probably fit at least two pairs of my normal everyday glasses - which then means that I can carry all of my different coloured glasses in my handbag at all times, and then just change colours to suit my mood.... and it's so much prettier than the ugly plastic cases that they give you at the optometrist!

Just to answer a few people's questions (and take the burden off you, Cam!),the kit should be ready by this Wednesday. There is some structural support in the purse - although it's not rigid. It's really designed to protect against scratches, not crushes.

I too have a big pair of those Oroton specs and the case they came with is bloody huge! Too big for my handbag so I usually just pop them in a side pocket, and invariably throw my keys on top of them. I need to get myself a cute little case.Yours is gorgeous!
